وَأَخٍ كَريمِ العُنصُرِ

مُتَفَضِّلٍ حُرٍّ سَري

And a brother noble of lineage

Generous, free, secretive

أَهدى لَنا يُسراً لَهُ

طَعمٌ كَطَعمِ السُكَّرِ

Brought us ease for him

A taste like the sweetness of sugar

كَخَرائِطٍ مِن مُصمَتٍ

خُتِمَت بِشَمعٍ أَصفَرِ

Like paintings of musk

Sealed with yellow wax
